Social Volunteering Work

It is not a secret that students' involvement in charity organizations is quite low all over the world. A recently published research pointed out Israel as the seventh country graded by it's low volunteer work. Most teenagers spend their time playing computer games or watching TV. Some even tend to get involved in violent events, while they can use their spare time volunteering in a specific organization or association and helping others.


There are a lot of organizations and places that need the help of those students. Moreover, there are different kinds of volunteer work that can fit every student's personality. In Holon, for instance, some charity organizations function consistently, animal shelters, youth movements and others.


I believe school is the main responsible for the pupils' poor attendance in the varied associations. I suggest schools offer a trophy or an appreciation certificate to those who take part in those organizations and by doing that, I hope, the attendance would increase. In addition, I think the teachers should dedicate a few lessons talking about the huge significance and importance of socical volunteering work.


To conclude, I recommend students to contribute to their community by volunteering and organizing some events to promote the associations' aims. The volunteering itself provides a lot of experience and presents an important challenge that fits any age.
